"Why?" Sheng Ning asked, following his words.
"Because my dad is always busy matchmaking. He's gone through all the ladies in England but hasn't found anyone he values. I heard he's going to France and Spain today to meet his cousins. Honestly, my dad has a super, super large number of female cousins!"
Sheng Ning knew this. European aristocrats have been intermarrying for hundreds of years. Not only are the familial relations complicated, but they might have multiple layers of kinship with each other.
"Aren't you upset?" Sheng Ning was a bit worried that the Duke might find Lin En a stepmom who wouldn't be good to him.
"Nope." The little kid seemed amused, "Although my dad is always trying to find me a stepmother, I think he definitely won't succeed. He might stay single forever."
Teasing your father about being a bachelor forever, that's quite rare. If Amber knew, she'd be heartbroken, although she also feels the same way.
